Minors

Why get a minor in Agribusiness, Agricultural Economics, or Community Economics and Social Dynamics?

Adding a minor to your course of study will add another dimension to your major, allowing you to take the core classes of another academic program to strengthen your program based on your career and personal interests. It is one way to distinguish your resume and background from that of other students who may be applying for the same positions as you.
